01x54 - Episode 54

[bunniefuu]

Do you love me or not?

I love you.

So will you marry me?

-Sara will play with your feelings.

-Where did you get that from?

-Her heart is split in two.

-I decided to go to Cali

because I'm giving myself

a chance with Tino.

We were raised together.

That makes us brothers,

no matter what they say.

But remember that I've been away

from you for half of my life.

I don't want to lose you again.

Anyway, what matters

is that I leave that behind

and I'm interested in you now.

In your peace and happiness.

-Let me help you.

-I'm fine.

What happened?

-I told him about us.

-Why?

We agreed I would be there to explain.

He wasn't going to take it well, anyway.

Why is there always violence with Joe?

I don't get it.

I'm the only one to blame.

No, no.

We can't blame ourselves for how we feel.

It'd be different

if you told me you're confused.

I am not confused.

I know what you feel for Joe, Sara.

It's not the same as what I feel for you.

Come here.

I want to try this out with you.

I want to be with you.

I want to be your wife.

Now can I help?

DAYS LATER

Good morning!

Did you sleep well?

-I had a bad dream.

-Okay.

Let's get ready,

we have a wedding to take care of.

Come on, let's shower.

-Come on!

-Careful!

They'll be with you in a moment.

Would you like a drink?

-No, thank you.

-Thanks.

Okay.

If we can get this textile company

to accept us as suppliers,

we'll have at least

a year of financial stability.

How about that?

Well, I'd like to help more.

No, you're doing just fine.

Did you see how our last meeting went?

They were all very impressed

by how you spoke about the cotton quality.

The harvest, the different seeds.

It's easy to talk

when you know about something.

But talk to me about finance.

I have no idea about math

or administration, Joaquín.

Well, that's exactly

what we were talking about with Mariana,

that you should consider the idea

of going to college.

Me?

In college?

I can barely read and write.

-I didn't finish school.

-It doesn't matter.

It's never too late to start.

Plus, you're a very smart person.

We'll find an institute

and private teachers

to support you, to give you a hand.

I don't know

Um

I'm grateful for your faith

and trust in me,

but I'm not the academic type.

You know? All those books and studying.

I belong to the earth,

with a hoe, that's my place.

Listen, I understand you, I do.

This is Mr. Torres.

They are the cotton entrepreneurs

who want to talk to you.

-Great, it's a pleasure. How are you?

-Pleasure.

-How are you?

-My pleasure.

Come with me.

-Thank you.

-Excuse me.

Welcome.

Thank you.

For a first fitting,

it looks perfect on you.

I don't know. Do you think

it's too low-cut, perhaps?

No.

What, do you want a turtleneck?

No! The back is divine!

Of course not a turtleneck, but

I don't know. You know what I think?

Perhaps it's a bit too long.

Wouldn't it be nicer if it was shorter?

Don't you think?

Shorter wouldn't be appropriate

for your wedding, Sara.

I don't know, I'm not convinced, Mati.

What doesn't convince you? It's perfect!

Don't tell me you're changing it again.

You've changed it ten times this month.

-Don't exaggerate, Mati.

-All right, nine.

It looks gorgeous on you,

I wish I was wearing that dress.

I mean

you're living a dream.

You're beautiful and will marry

the love of your life. What else?

I'm just feeling a little guilty

because I'm organizing a wedding,

and my mom

hasn't even been dead for a month.

This may sound a bit harsh, cousin,

but your real mom is Mariana.

And I know that Jazmín,

may God rest her soul

wherever she may be,

would've wanted to see you happy.

Sure.

I love you.

-Thanks for being here.

-That's a good reason

to make me your bridesmaid.

-Yes.

-Yes!

-Sara!

-Oh!

-Hide!

-Are you there?

Why?

He can't see you like this.

It's bad luck. Hide.

-Hi!

-Hi!

-Where's Sara? I saw her here.

-She's not here.

-Hi.

-She is.

You can't see her. You can't be here.

-I'm sorry.

-Why not?

-It's bad luck to see the bride.

-Please.

-No, Tino!

-Is she upstairs?

-Sara, hide, Tino is going upstairs!

-Sara!

I'm sorry.

-Sara, open the door.

-I have my wedding dress on.

You can't see it.

Do you think something will happen

if I see you with the dress on?

It's better not to risk it, right?

-Are you really afraid?

-Sure, a little bit, I'm a little afraid.

What are you afraid of?

Because every time something good

happens to me, something ruins it.

Nothing and nobody will separate us,

you hear?

Promise me.

You have my word.

I swear, I'll make you

the happiest woman in the world.

-But I'm afraid to lose you, Tino.

-That won't happen, love. Don't be silly.

Don't you see you're

the most important thing in my life?

I've never loved someone so much.

So we're going to be happy?

We'll be so happy

that the whole world will die with envy.

I promise that I will always

take care of you.

You hear me?

Oh, baby, I want to kiss you so bad.

Come out now, won't you?

I have an idea,

but promise me you'll close your eyes.

I promise.

Careful, I'm opening the door.

Careful, don't you open them!

Okay, here.

Listen, I'll tell you something.

I love you.

I'm so lucky.

Come on, don't get too excited!

-Can I open my eyes now?

-No!

-Oh, but

-Get out. Bye.

Get out of here.

Didn't I tell you? They signed.

Without your speech about the numbers,

they wouldn't have signed.

It was also thanks to you.

And how much you love the land.

If you keep it up, you'll be the heir

that La Victoria and El Búcaro deserve.

I think you expect too much from me.

I'm more comfortable in the estate,

with the workers, I'm a farmer.

We'll have to talk about it

because you can't go back now.

What?

Yes.

Benítez hasn't left the country.

As long as he's on the loose,

he's a threat to you.

No, Joaquín. I just found you.

Don't push me away,

I also want to be with Mariana.

It's just for a short time, Joe.

Benítez tried to get rid of you

once already.

I know he's about to show up. I know him.

Are you going to hide me my whole life?

No, no. Look. It's

It's only for six months.

Turkey, Egypt, and Peru.

Wouldn't you like to see the world?

Turkey, Egypt, and Peru.

Look, don't take it as a punishment.

Take it as an opportunity.

You'll travel and experience things.

You'll help us get the best seeds.

And in the meantime,

you can think about a career to study.

I also think this will help you

forget.

Forget.

When I think about

how Sara's getting married

my head hurts.

Well,

that's another reason

to consider the trip.

Let's go!

There will be 24/7 security from now on.

Half of the men

will be stationed in fixed posts.

The rest will patrol day and night.

We'll have men everywhere.

Inside La Victoria, El Búcaro,

and also around them.

Yes

Any strange activity

you must report to me, all right?

We all know that Rogelio Benítez

is no small enemy.

He'll surely come back.

But we're going to be ready.

Right?

I trust you.

And the loyalty you have for me.

For Mrs. Mariana.

And Joaquín.

You know that what my son wants

is for you to defend what's yours.

That's why it's important that you feel

like you're looking after your own land.

Yes.

One man's problem is everyone's problem.

Also, one man's fortune

will be everybody's fortune!

-Are you with me?

-Yes, sir!

But I'm not afraid of Benítez.

On the contrary, I know him well.

I could help you.

No, that's precisely

what we don't want you to do, Joe.

To take an unnecessary risk.

-I don't like the idea.

-I know.

But we have no other option.

If something happens to you again,

Mariana and I couldn't bear it.

All right. I'll go.

To Egypt, Turkey, wherever you tell me.

But not for six months.

Three.

Three, perfect!

I'll make sure

to organize everything myself,

so that you can leave in a week.

One week.

I always wanted to see the world.

I didn't think it would be like this.

As the official representative

of La Victoria Cotton Company,

imagine that.

Who better than you to do it?

One thing. Promise me

you'll look after yourself, okay?

You too.

I'll miss you.

You know what, Joaquín?

Dad.

Let's go to a cafe,

I want to write a letter to Mom.

It sounds good to hear you say

Dad and Mom, you know?

All right.

Let's go.

w*r is coming, it's going to be awful.

They even hired armed people

at El Búcaro and La Victoria.

They fear Benítez will show up

on Mr. Alfredo's grandchild's wedding.

Are they that fearful of Benítez?

That guy has nine lives.

He bribed half of the population.

So when is the wedding?

I need to get myself a dress.

The date isn't certain,

but it'll probably be soon.

A toast to the bride and groom.

Cheers.

Yes, ma'am.

All the security squad

members are reliable.

I've known them for over 15 years.

I even know their families.

I can't believe that we now need

armed people in the estate.

I understand you're upset,

Mrs. Mariana, but

my son is right.

We need to protect ourselves.

How long will this last, Graciliano?

Until we find Benítez.

What if we never find him?

We'll find him.

He won't take us by surprise this time.

Oh, let's change the subject.

Did you speak to Father Vega?

Yes, ma'am.

He'll be here at noon tomorrow.

Graciliano, when will you

stop calling me "Mrs." and "ma'am"?

I'm Mariana, your daughter-in-law!

Your grandchild's mom.

Don't you see me that way?

Of course, Mrs

Mariana.

The habit makes a fool of us.

You're not my employee.

You're my father-in-law and we're family.

Now that my dad isn't here,

I'm happy to know that I can count on you.

Always.

Let's get back

to the wedding arrangements.

Well, um

Mrs. Mariana.

I have your tea. Excuse me.

One more thing.

All right. If you'll excuse me,

I'll go check on everything.

Thanks, Graciliano.

Look.

Another one?

Like a ritual.

Twice a week.

Thanks, Maura.

I'll be right back

to organize the wedding.

Yes, ma'am.

As far as I know,

Mariana hasn't opened any.

She keeps them in a drawer.

But she won't dare read them.

She'll never forgive him.

I wouldn't either.

We don't forgive for the other's sake.

But our own.

Did you forgive him?

I would've liked to k*ll him

with my own hands.

For years,

all I thought about was vengeance.

And then I realized

that my insomnia and alcoholism

wasn't being caused by Mr. Alfredo,

but by my own resentment.

You're worthy of admiration, Graciliano.

No, Maura.

No.

All I did was choose.

In the end, I chose myself.

Now look. Life is rewarding me.

Bringing my grandson back.

You haven't answered me.

Did you forgive him?

I don't know.

I pity him.

Because Mr. Alfredo lost everything.

Of one thing, I am sure.

Life will surely punish him

much more than I ever could.

-Hello.

-Welcome.

Alfredo, sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

Come on, we need to eat something,

and take a bath. Come on.

I'm coming!

Come on.

Leave me alone!

Stop. Don't touch me.

I know how to walk!

Oh!

-Oh!

-I'm sorry!

-Oh!

-I'm sorry!

Where is

the house?

Girl.

-How much do I owe you?

-Don't worry, it's been settled.

-I'm really sorry.

-Relax, it's part of our every day.

-Thanks.

-Don't worry. Go.

-Here, Alfredo.

-Leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

That way.

You're a pain!

You get hotter every day, huh?

And you're getting dumber, right?

You know I could use money,

not compliments, Rowdy.

I know.

Do you have any news?

Not much.

They put up a whole army

to defend their boss.

And a marriage.

-A wedding.

-Mm-hmm.

My daughter's wedding?

Yes, sir.

But the date is to be determined.

Who is she marrying?

Tino.

The journalist.

An as*h*le.

They upped their security.

They fear you'll do something

during the wedding.

Of course.

Because they should've invited me, right?

That's right, sir.

What should we do?

-I can go for the groom.

-No.

I'm not interested in that journalist.

What do we know about Joe?

Nothing.

He hasn't been at the ranch for days.

Nobody knows where he is.

Mariana is so careful.

But it doesn't matter.

No matter where they hide him,

we'll find him.

Right, Rowdy?

We're on it, sir.

You know

when I found out he was alive,

I punched myself in the chest.

I felt like an imbecile

for not k*lling him the day he was born.

But now, when I reconsider,

it's perfect that he's alive.

Joe is the best weapon

I have to get what I want.

And what about Joaquín?

Joaquín is on a trip. In Bogotá.

His daughter and ex-wife

are living in his house.

Lucy.

Lucy.

So I have a bodyguard now?

Honey, that's how it is now.

After what happened in Cali,

you need more security.

Mom, please! They threatened Tino, not me.

They threatened the magazine, Lucy.

There is no way

I'm taking that gorilla to Cali.

Don't worry,

you're not going back to Cali.

-What?

-Yes, you heard me.

Your dad and I decided

you won't go back to Cali.

Margarita, please,

get more leaves for this vase.

You won't be working for that magazine.

We're not going to let anything

happen to you, Lucy.

I can't believe it. You have no right!

We actually do because we're your parents.

I won't stay here

if that's what your plan is.

No, that's not what we want.

We have options for you.

The first one is that you stay here

at the estate in peace,

following all the security measures.

Or you can go back to the United States

and go to school.

Right. I have some awesome options.

I'm either screwed or exiled.

-It's for your own good.

-I disagree!

I want to talk to my dad right now.

Your dad isn't here.

He's in Bogotá talking to Joe.

Ah! That's it!

So my dad only has time

for his favorite son now.

Lucy, come on! You're acting

like you're five, don't be jealous.

-Good afternoon, excuse me.

-Yes.

-Hello.

-Good afternoon, ma'am.

I'm sorry to bother you.

Are you Lucy Mosquera?

No, I'm Josefina. How may I help you?

So sorry, I'm looking for the journalist

Lucy Mosquera, it's urgent.

She's not here.

Do you know what time she'll be back?

No, Lucy doesn't live here.

I

I need someone to hear me.

To help me. Look

I have a piece of land,

a house, and they want to kick me

out of there. It's all I have.

Who wants to kick you out?

A very important man from the area.

They want to grow marijuana, apparently.

Oh, my goodness.

That's why I need a journalist like Lucy,

to help me report this.

-Can you send her a message?

-Of course, tell me.

Tell her to call me. Take my number.

One moment, I'll be back.

I don't want to eat.

My whole body hurts.

Oh, I feel so sick.

It's normal, you're hungover. Here.

I said I don't want to eat.

No!

Go away.

Yes.

I'll put you in bed and feed you

and I'll leave you alone.

Why don't you leave me?

Because I love you.

You're wasting your time.

You always have.

Look, Alfredo.

Let's not start with this, okay?

Now, the important thing

is to get your daughter to forgive you.

Don't give me cheap optimism.

I don't need it!

I don't need it!

All of this was a mistake, all of it!

Getting married. All a mistake.

I don't love you.

-Why would you say that?

-It's the truth.

I get bored with you.

You exasperate me.

You're a nuisance.

If you want to make me happy,

get out of here!

And never come back.

I don't love you.

Alfredo, let's

Get out, Ofelia!

Get out!

I don't love you.

I've never loved you.

What I feel for you

is pity. That's all.

I feel pity.

I

I will close my eyes

and ask your God

that when I open them again,

you're no longer here.

That you turn to ashes.

That you disappear.

Get out

and don't bother me again.

-Hi.

-Honey.

Come.

From what I see, he stayed.

What did he say about the trip?

He agreed!

He agreed. He's leaving for Europe

and Egypt in a week.

Hmm.

-For how long?

-Three months.

-Three months?

-Perhaps less.

Lots of things can happen in three months.

-What if he wants to stay there?

-I don't think he'll want to.

It's a simple business trip.

He cherishes this land, he loves it!

But we're kicking him out.

We're not kicking him out,

we're protecting him.

That's also our duty as parents.

We've enjoyed his company

for such a short time.

I can't believe

that even with Rogelio gone,

we still have to live in fear

and with armed men all over the estate.

Let's hope they find him soon.

For now, we can't take any risks.

When will this all end, Joaquín?

Soon.

I swear. Soon.

You should've seen him

dressed up as an executive.

He looks like his dad.

You would've been really proud.

I am proud.

Why won't you tell me who's calling?

It's not that I don't want to,

but the person calling told me not to say.

Is it Josefina?

Is my daughter okay?

Relax, your daughter is fine.

But I can't say the same about you

after this call.

Hello.

Graciliano,

I'm so glad to hear your voice.

Oh! Mrs. Ofelia.

Yes.

I'm sorry to call you like this,

by surprise, but

I just don't know what else to do.

I don't know who else to call.

What happened to you?

It's not me. I'm all right.

Graciliano, I know

he has acted very poorly.

That he deserves

every punishment in the world,

that he's been a jerk, and insensitive,

especially with you.

But we can't let him die.

Mr. Alfredo?

Oh, Graciliano.

I have no one else to turn to.

And you know him.

You know how to handle him.

And I am

I'm very afraid he'll do something stupid.

Please help him, Graciliano, okay?

Please.

Okay, um

Don't worry, Mrs. Ofelia. See you.

What is it?

Sooner or later,

we have to pay for our actions.

Life gives to us and life takes away.

It doesn't matter where

or what you were born with.

That old man deserves

everything that's happening to him.

Mr. Alfredo was born in a rich world.

With all this land under his name.

And he believed

it would always be that way.

You know, Maura,

when you live so high up there,

everything down here looks small.

Are you sticking up for him?

Uh-uh. No.

He has to pay, just like he is.

Losing everything.

-Even his daughter's respect.

-Mm-hmm.

But what life is asking me with this call

is if I'm just like him,

or if I'm capable of kicking someone

when they're down.

Are you the wise man now, Graciliano?

I wonder what your son will say

if you give the man who destroyed

his life a helping hand.

I went over the list

and there are too many guests, Mom.

I know I went overboard with the guests,

but I want the house to be full.

It's been so long

since we've had a party at the estate.

I don't know, I want there to be music,

joy, and dancing.

Have the workers come.

Would you like to invite someone else?

No, not me. You, my love?

I thought about Beatriz, but she's abroad.

And, well, Joe.

Yes, it's a pity Joe can't be here.

Oh, I've got the menu! I'll go get it.

Go ahead to the dining room,

I'll catch up with you.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Mati, I'm so happy you're here! Welcome.

Thanks.

Sara and Tino were coming to the estate,

so I decided to travel with them

and I wanted to say hi.

I'm assuming you're invited

to the happy wedding.

Yes.

Does it still hurt you?

I'm not sure what's more upsetting.

The fact that Tino doesn't love me,

that my dad is more concerned

about his new son than me,

or that my mom wants to lock me up

in this estate forever.

-Are you serious?

-Yes.

The good thing about facing

so many bad things

is that I can't decide

which one bothers me most.

Here, let's drink something.

Who works here?

Serve me!

-Sir?

-What?

I think it's best if you leave.

Hold on. You don't know who I am.

Nobody ever kicks me out. Never!

Sir, please leave. Let's avoid trouble.

Trouble You're going to get into trouble.

Because I have a lot of money.

And I will buy this business

and fire you for being rude.

-Calm down!

-And for being a lazy worker!

-Sir, calm down.

-I'll buy this hole. I'm an Azcárate!

Show me some respect!

Oh, shut up, you old drunk.

Don't stick your nose

where it doesn't belong.

I can put you and everybody in jail.

Whoa, look what I found, huh?

Now we know who's buying the next round.

-Well

-That's not yours, sir!

That's it.

Take him, he's ruining our day.

Here, Mr. Alfredo.

I'm just embarrassed that I have nothing

to contribute to the party.

No, Primitiva, don't worry.

Mariana is happily organizing everything.

Like it's her own wedding.

Don't look at me like that.

It's just that neither Tino nor I

want such a big party with so many guests.

-Right, love?

-We were thinking of something intimate.

Oh, don't be ungrateful.

No, we're not ungrateful.

Joaquín, do you know what I'm saying?

My mom is celebrating love, your love.

Her new life with Joaquín.

Yes.

That's exactly what I thought

when I saw her organizing everything,

making the guest list.

I haven't seen her so excited

in a long time.

She had a sparkle in her eye.

Well, that's a sign, don't you think?

Stop it.

Leave that alone!

It's an order.

I won't let you die next to a bottle.

You're not going to tell me

how I should die.

I'll die however I want.

It's my choice.

If I die drunk and alone

or however I want to.

And Alfredo Azcárate

deserves a dignified death.

One that lives up to his name.

Are you going to help me die?

Or did you come to k*ll me?

Is that it?

To get your revenge.

To give me the last blow.

If I had wanted to k*ll you,

I would've abandoned you

where I picked you up.

Dying

Dying is the easiest way to escape.

I won't let you run away.

There still are

many things to live for.

You have to come down from your cloud

and touch the ground we all walk on.

-Let's go!

-Where to?

-Come.

-Where are you taking me?

-Come!

-Where?

Come on, don't be lazy.

Let's go.

What are you planning on doing?

I don't know.

I don't have too many options, really.

I either go back to the US

or I stay at this ranch.

Or you can come back to Cali with me

when the wedding is over.

That's it. Solved.

I would love to work

on the magazine again,

but after what happened,

my dad won't let me go back.

I don't even know why

he'd care about my safety.

He only lives for Joe now.

I feel lost, Mati.

The magazine was my only salvation.

Don't say that.

Your dad is just excited

to have met Joe. That's all.

Anyway, let's change the subject.

Someone came asking for you.

A lady, she was in distress,

and she wanted to tell you her story.

It was something about

reporting some land issues. I think.

Did she give you a number?

Of course.

Graciliano.

Graciliano.

What am I doing here?

Get me out of here, take me home.

Graciliano.

Take me home!

Hey!

Graciliano!

Listen to me!

Move!

n*gro, move!

My love!

Did you organize this?

No.

You didn't?

Tino! I didn't know you were so romantic.

Me neither.

So then?

Oh!

Mariana Azcárate.

Will you marry me?

Of course, yes!

Bravo!

DAYS LATER

Oh, yes. I'm about to go out.

If you're going to control me

before we're married,

I'll say "I don't accept" at the wedding.

Don't confuse wanting to see you

with controlling you.

It's not bad to desire

each other a little, right?

More?

Are you trying to punish me?

You have no idea how much I want you.

You'll be disappointed

because you won't get a kiss

when I arrive, just so you know.

I'm happy just to see you.

For now.

Has everyone confirmed

for the bachelor party?

Everyone confirmed.

Are you sure you want to do it

without your friends?

You know what?

I don't want to spend

a single night away from you.

Do you want to spend your life with me?

Of course I do.

I'll see you soon, then.

Okay? Bye, love. Bye.

Have a nice time, my love.

And please return to Cali early tomorrow.

Don't be long.

Mom, I'm not going to miss my wedding.

Don't worry.

Take care, okay?

Okay.

-Drive safe.

-Always.

Bye.

Hello, who's this?

Lucy Mosquera.

Miss. I thought you'd never call.

Yes, I'm sorry.

I've been dealing with some stuff lately.

But I'm very interested in talking to you.

Oh, you have no idea how grateful I am.

Do you think we could meet in person?

I'm near Cali.

Yes, that sounds good.

Could it be today?

It's pretty urgent.

Um Yes, sure.

Tell me where to meet you.

At a relative's house,

if you want to jot it down.
